This is a national family history of the first MAWBEY families in Australia. It also includes people whose surnames are pronounced the same but spelt differently who may or may not be actual relatives. The most common spelling variant is 'Mawby'. This is a wide-reaching, ongoing research project, a 'work in progress', by Pamela Mawbey, a great great granddaughter of George Mawbey, the English forebear of the NSW Mawbeys.

INTERESTING FAMILY HISTORIES

Last night I attended a free two-hour workshop by family historian and author of popular histories, Carol Baxter, on how to write interesting family histories.
I was pleased to learn that I had already incorporated one of her techniques, placing my ancestors in their social, political and economic historical context.
The highlight for me was winning the door prize, a copy of her book, Writing Interesting Family Histories.

About Me

I'm a former journalist now researching my family tree. I want to share my discoveries with other closely and distantly related families throughout the world and am therefore making information I have managed to unearth freely available. However I retain ownership of the copyright for the original concept of this blog and narrative storyline and request that permission be sought from me to reproduce any part of it. I do hope you enjoy my remarkable journey of discovery that I very much want to share with you.
